"So it's about this…" Hershey mumbled, seemingly absentminded.
"Hmph!" Yvanna let out a cold snort as she crossed her arms.
Elena also let out a pout, looking aggrieved.
Seeing their reactions, Alaric didn't know what to say.
"Don't put him in a tough spot, girls. It's Her Majesty we are talking about so we cannot do anything about it." Smiling helplessly, Hershey stepped up and pacified the other two.
"Besides, this marriage will be good for House Silversword." She added.
She might be the daughter of House Paxley, but she was now part of House Silversword. Although she also felt some slight resistance to seeing Alaric marry another woman, she could still accept it because this union would strengthen the household and also increase her husband's standing in the imperial family.
"You are always on his side, Hershey." Yvanna clicked her tongue while shaking her head.
Hearing this, Hershey smiled faintly. "I should be. I am his wife after all."
